As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokernews.com\/news\/2024\/09\/poker-playing-gambler-archie-karas-dead-47040.htm\">PokerNews<\/a> recounts, Karas drove to Vegas with $50 to his name in late 1992 and went on a streak now cemented into legend as &#8220;the Run.&#8221; The <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/arts-culture\/books\/archie-karas-dies-73-a581b4c6\">Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/em> captures it this way: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> &#8220;What unfolded from there, in the spring and summer of 1993, resembled an old kung-fu movie, with a mob of new adversaries encircling Karas, and Karas pummeling virtually all of them as they stepped forward one at a time,&#8221; writes Jon Mooallem. He vanquished some of the biggest names in the game at the time, including Doyle Brunson and Stu Ungar.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div id=\"divStoryBodyBelow\">\n<p class=\"storyParagraph\">&#13;<br \/>\n                                        When the dust settled, Karas had amassed somewhere between $30 million and $50 million\u2014the details are murky. But part of the legend is that Karas then lost the money just as quickly, including $11 million in a single night. (By then he had added craps and baccarat to his repertoire.) This type of boom-and-bust cycle was familiar to Karas, who went from being a millionaire to being broke over and over again throughout his life. Karas, a native of Greece whose real name was Anargyros Karabourniotis, died in September at age 73. A quote he gave long ago to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigaraficionado.com\/article\/tables-of-dreams-7761\">Cigar Aficionado<\/a><\/em> might help explain the legend: &#8220;You&#8217;ve got to understand something,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Money means nothing to me.&#8221;  (More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newser.com\/tag\/5937\/1\/poker.html\">poker<\/a> stories.)&#13;\n                                    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    var FBAPI = '119343999649';\n    window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n        FB.init({\n            appId: FBAPI,\n            status: true,\n            cookie: true,\n            xfbml: true,\n            oauth: true,\n            authResponse: true,\n            version: 'v2.5'\n        });\n        FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function (response) {\n            \/\/AnalyticsCustomEvent('Facebook', 'Like', 'P');\n        });\n    };\n    \/\/ Load the SDK asynchronously\n    (function (d, s, id) {\n        var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n        if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n        js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n        js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newser.com\/story\/359160\/in-poker-world-they-call-what-he-did-the-run.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Not every poker player makes headlines upon his death, but Archie Karas was no ordinary poker player.
